Sparkle with stars and silver

Glistening with colourful stars, this black jumper is not just for Christmas. Add a silver pleated skirt for an everyday look.

The weather, we are warned, is about to become arctic. After a fantastic summer, and warm autumn, temperatures in London plunged to 4 degrees (39) yesterday and 6 degrees (42) today with showers. Plus we put the clocks back, so darkness will fall around four o'clock. Faced with the thought of five months of gloomy weather, I treated myself - early - to a Christmas jumper. That's a sweater to my US friends.

This is what I wore to a birthday party last night, and the great thing is, the jumper/sweater is not too overtly "Christmassy" so I can probably wear it a few times before Christmas Day. You see, a Christmas jumper is not just for Christmas!

I did consider wearing it with my silver boots, but the sequinned stars are so stand out, I thought I would let them shine and dial down my boots and jewellery. I simply added black kitten heel boots and a small metallic clutch. The skirt I bought very cheaply last year on eBay. You've seen here before, here and here.


This indoor shot shows the colours of the stars better.

What's your view on Christmas jumpers?  a) An abomination;  b) OK for Christmas Day only;  c) Not too bad if they're subtle with no reindeer or Santas.

  2. Gail, this is a gorgeous outfit! One I would love to own myself ;)
    And that jumper is fabulous – you could quite easily wear it any time because it's not overly Christmassy is it? I don't actually own any Christmas jumpers. Hmm.... perhaps it's time I remedied that situation ;)
